To me, summer means endless days by bodies of water, fresh fruit on the front porch, and a stack of good books to help pass the time! Getting a head start on this summer by pulling together a list of the most anticipated books of the year. So for this month’s 10 things, I’m sharing the books I hope I’ll finish before the end of Daylight Savings Time and the crisp air of fall sneaks up on us all.

Leave me a comment if you end up reading one of these books this summer. Would love to know what you think!

No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood
Fragmentary and omniscient, incisive and sincere, No One Is Talking About This is at once a love letter to the endless scroll and a profound, modern meditation on love, language, and human connection based on the experiences of a social media influencer.

Aftershocks: A Memoir by Nadia Owusu
Nadia Owusu grew up all over the world—from Rome and London to Dar-es-Salaam and Kampala.
